Location, Location, Location. Convience trumps healthy eating. I appreciate the info about these organic growers but time and energy required to gather these resources from these places would not make it worth it. Perhaps if an organic grower/grocer would open in the Shoals then maybe it might make a go of it.
Secondly as a single person, it is difficult to cook for one. I know it can be done but often times for me when I do not feel like cooking I hit the grocery store for frozen foods or head out to eat.
